Squirrels

This pumpkin was solid! I had left it outside to stay fresh and was planning on carving it up into a centerpiece for Thanksgiving. At least the squirrels enjoyed it.

Monday

I feel like Garfield the cat....remember he'd pull the blanket over his head and say "I hate Mondays"? Goodness this was a Monday. Work was sooooooo busy. I was doing my job most of the day but then had to squeeze in doing Tina's too and her comments just about drove me over the freaking edge. I am sure she was trying to be pleasant and funny but it just pissed me off. If she had done the job right and thoroughly the first time I wouldn't be having to do the work at all.



There is also a bit of a shake up going on at work...the team I work on is going to be reporting to a different boss and apparently set up differently. My boss asked me today what I liked best about what I do...what tasks I enjoyed the most. I have no idea where this is going and though it's not really worrying I hate not knowing stuff. I like who I work with and what I do and would be happy with just no more changes just now.



Then to just top off the this Monday I got home and discovered that the cat missed the darn littler box again! It's like she walked into it and hung her butt out the end and peed all over the floor. I could smell it when I came in. Ugh. It's raining and windy and I had a long hard day and all I wanted to do is come home and curl up on the sofa and knit. Now I have a floor to mop. Yeah, I haven't done it yet.

gonna be a loooooong day

Today is bottle drive day. Can you feel my excitement? It's just ooooozing outta me. I will participate fully even though I despise returning bottles to the store. Truly I do. I save them and save them until I have a trunk full in my car and then I make the two oldest do it for me :) Child labor..yeah yeah. I don't know what it is I hate about it so much...the stickiness maybe? I just can't be bothered to rinse them out before bagging them up. Maybe it's the smell of the recycle area at the store, it just smells of old beer in there, yuk. Could just be that I am just that lazy! naw can't be that ;)


Anyhoo...today we will go driving about to collect bottles as a fund raiser for Mitch's class trip to Washington DC and I will do it gladly for two reasons. One...the trip costs nearly $700 and my budget is already stretched so tight that it squeaks and whines and all funds raised will be applied to the first payment that is due in a month. Secondly, if he participates in at least 5 fund raisers he will be added to the list of students who get a portion of the general fund raising fund. Mark got $50 spending money from the general fund when he went a couple years ago so it'll be worth it not to have to shell out spending money on top of everything else it will cost to send him.


We put out flyers on 70 houses letting them know that we are collecting and when we'd be picking up the bottles. I am very curious as to the response we will receive. When Mark did it he just went door to door with a group from school and just asked for the bottles straight out. It's a different process this time so we shall see how it works. We are scheduled to do a bottle drive four or five times so I guess we will know after today if we need to spread more flyers or less to get a decent collection.


Other notes for the day....Holy smokes I can't believe how many responses I have to my giveaway!!! It's very exciting...I think I have had more hits in one day that I had in the whole life of this blog! I wonder if anyone will come back when the lure of freebies goes away? 122 comments so far and a few very sweet ones that compliment the blog itself. awww :) thanks.


Also today is knitting...I am bound and determined to finish my first ever knitting project. I have started working down the back now and am very eager to get it done before Mark gets here in a couple weeks. I would love to be able to wear it on our out and abouts.


Did you see that btw? He will be here in two weeks! Two weeks!!!! 14 days 8 hours and 23 minutes....not that I am counting or anything. Biggest question of this trip....will he pop the question? Yeah...THE question.


ok off to wake the teenagers and get this day a going.
